Nice and strong build. Awesome freeze gives a lot of safety for a party.
Well done. | |
Found this wand and was looking for what build could use it.
Works for this build? | |
Cold penetration would be a better option than faster casting. It gives 240% MORE damage versus capped enemies which are pretty common in merciless. Aside from getting a higher dps it also improves your damage per hit (where faster casting does nothing) thereby considerably improving your ability to freeze. You will be able to freeze enemies with 35% more life (with no resistances) up to 240% more life (with capped cold resistance) compared to a faster casting setup.
The difference in freezing abilities is especially striking when playing in parties. You won't be able to permafreeze tough bosses for the team without cold penetration. You feature perfect gems on almost everything. It would be better to at least point out where quality is most important. Imo quality (and level) on ball lightning that is used just to trigger coh is a waste of currency. On the other hand you missed the quality on herald of ice which would make much more sense in this build as the 15% increased cold damage with 20qual are global and apply to every cold spell in your setup. | |
What order did you go through the tree? I'm thinking about starting a witch and using this build as a guide, but I'm unsure of what pathing to use through the tree. What did you do when you were leveling this build?
Also, did you play this build on HC or SC? and is it HC viable? Thanks. Last edited by BigChillin on Apr 9, 2015, 3:07:07 PM

" WOOOW, so much information. I will 100% check/try this out. And yes maybe i should write that quality is not needed on some gems. I often just play chars so long i can make the lvl 20 gems to 20% with gcp recipie. I usually dont buy the gems. Oh and i forgot to write the Quality at Herlad of Ice. Thanks for pointing that out, i will edit it! Thanks alot for the informations.

" Hello, i played this char in the SC 1Month league, i think it would be doable on HC maybe focus more on deffence stats on gear and passive first then. I started as witch and made my way into the Templar tree first. Get maybe "Discipline and Training" and "Elementalist". After that i went to the Shadow are and grabbed "Eldrich Battery" on the way i think mid cruel of you start to run "Arctic Armour" and multiple Aura/Heralds. For me it helps alot to get the longest passive routes done first, so you only have to refill the site notes at the end. I would recommend to grab some Dexterity ntes while leveling i often have problems to get enough dex for the gems. I hope you enjoy it and Good Luck.
